The Evolution of Black Spirituality

For Black History Month we reflect on the profound evolution of black spirituality in America. The legacy of black spirituality stands on the shoulders of giants, with a rich history of a resilience.   Black spirituality in America has been a dynamic force, deeply interwoven with the cultural, social, and political fabric of both the African diaspora and the broader American narrative. Despite facing systemic racism, cultural appropriation, and the commodification of Black spiritual practices, Black spirituality has shown remarkable resilience. It has adapted, maintained its core values of community, resistance, and redemption, while also embracing new forms of expression and worship.
